Range of Emotions – WW & You Capture

March 16, 2011 by Elaine

As I mentioned earlier in the week, my camera is out of commission for a bit. And that makes me sad. But not nearly as sad as what has recently happened in our world, specifically Japan, in the last several days. My heart is heavy yet I keep a brave face for my kiddos. It’s…

So, an unfortunate thing happened and other ramblings…

March 14, 2011 by Elaine

 red bud buds that aren’t well…. red….  I broke my camera lens. But not in the way you may think. While at the zoo last week the camera “jumped” off the back of the stroller (seriously, I have NO idea how it got bumped off) and when it fell my lens went flying off and…

Weeds

March 11, 2011 by Elaine

“Mommy, why are you taking a picture of those weeds?” he hollered at me as he zoomed by on his bike, doing laps in the driveway, round and round. The sky was overcast but the temperature was perfect outside. Spring was definitely in the air. I turned around, noticing he was due for a haircut…

Everyone Loves a Parade – WW & You Capture

March 9, 2011 by Elaine

Legs and feet to stand on while waiting for the parade to start… Arms and hands to wave in the air to catch beads as the “floats” go by… Ears to hear the band and all the parade-goers.   And eyes to watch it all…. The kids and I have been to four parades since last…

Technology – You Capture

March 2, 2011 by Elaine

It seems as if TECHNOLOGY kinda helps us get through our mornings around here. Especially THIS machine.  It makes my coffee and FAST.  It also makes lattes, cappuccinos and hot tea. Cocoa too. I ADORE this machine.  This is what my “work station” looks like on any given day.  iPhone, laptop, little boy socks (REALLY…

“L” is For… (You Capture)

February 24, 2011 by Elaine

I’m still joining You Capture this week even though I’m a day late and a few pictures short.  But on well, better late than never, as they say, right? He was trying to make her LAUGH. It worked. 😀 This was my LUNCH the other day. I know, it looks more like breakfast but no,…

Warmth – You Capture

February 17, 2011 by Elaine

Me and the little girl found ourselves outside for a bit this afternoon. Although it was pretty cloudy it was lovely outside and perfect for exploring. And the sun peaked out a few times, gracing us with its WARMTH.

COLD – You Capture

February 10, 2011 by Elaine

I’m usually okay with winter.  I like wearing sweaters and drinking hot tea and cocoa and snuggling under lots of blankets.  But the last few weeks have been full of more gray skies that I’m used too and well, I’m thinkin’ Old Man winter needs to pack his bags and get out. Is is Spring…

Canvas Press – Review & (Awesome) Giveaway!

February 9, 2011 by Elaine

I have family photos of my kids, our wedding, our extended family sprinkled all over the house.  I love to frame and display photos almost as much as I love to take them (okay, maybe as much or more…).  These photos bring smiles to my face as I walk down the hallway to deliver laundry…
